T. & T. with a still-in-progress study of its rate setup but soft-pedaled his predecessors' criticism of the TV industry, is anxious to return to private practice.

Understandably anxious for support, the new papers have applied for membership in the New York Publishers Association, from which the Trib resigned last fall. But the association, is not likely to be in any rush to let them in-the last thing the other New York papers want is to be dragged into another strike.
